Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
BBQ catering in Abinger, cooked on site
Some hosts in Abinger pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. For club open days and summer parties in the garden, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, beef burgers and halloumi skewers for your guests.
A barbecue in the countryside near Abinger makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Barbecues in Abinger: gardens, clubs and local tips
Abinger is about 4 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. We’re happy to travel to Abinger for events and the places nearby. Abinger is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 8 miles away.
A green space like Wotton and Abinger Commons is tempting, but a catered barbecue there needs the landowner’s say-so. PTAs at schools such as Belmont Prep School frequently look for a barbecue for fairs and sports days. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Abinger, so a countryside barbecue here comes with a view. Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Abinger hosts choose us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
How it works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. Sunset in Abinger is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

Questions from Abinger
Can you do a barbecue in Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Abinger?
Gomshall station, about 1.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Will children like the BBQ?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
